It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organise yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!

Jen Vincent, Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee of Unleashing Readers decided to give It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a kidlit focus. If you read and review books in children’s literature – picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, young adult novels, anything in the world of kidlit – join them!

Well I am sure everyone is in preparation mode for Christmas. Hope it's all going well.

In case you missed it I want to draw your attention to....

This is hosted by Sheila over at Book Journey and I love it. Choosing my first book and seeing what everyone else has chosen. Get all the information over at Book Journey. This is her fourth year hosting this and before that I never really thought about that first book to start a new year. Now I do! I have chosen mine after some thought!

Last week I was dozy as I set the link up and forgot to just make it a list. Hope everyone coped with the change to images. Sorry about that but now I'll continue as some mentioned they enjoyed it.

What I read last week:

Finished listening to this romantic suspense. Sped through it, while the narration was just okay the story was very unstoppable.

Blood Vow is a review book, Glowing Embers one that was on my TBR, and At the Edge was more of a novella with a follow up book I still need to read.

I like participating in First Book of the Year. I haven't chosen my book yet. Last year I didn't finish the book I picked. It turned out to be a disappointment. This time I'm going to read a bit of the book first before I choose it. Look forward to finding out what you picked.

I enjoyed the Bridgerton series though I didn't like some of the spin offs. I haven't read this one yet.

Looking forward to your review of Blood Vow. Some years ago I glommed all the Black Dagger Brotherhood books that were available and got an overdose, but I think I might be ready to revisit that world, especially as it's a spin-off series and should have new characters.

You know I was just thinking of the first book of the year this morning as I joined in for the last two years. I will head over now - well, once I pick a book. Have a good week and thanks for the reminder.

I loved your audiobooks list, Kathryn; thank you for all the great recommendations! I changed jobs earlier this year and I now have a bit of a commute; it's been fun to find new things to listen to along the way. Thanks so much for hosting the linkup and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

I like the link-up with the images, too! Closer Than You Think sounds good. I'll look for that one at my library. I can't wait to hear what you thought of Blood Vow! Have a great week, and Merry Christmas!

I only read one book by Lauren Willig and that was THE FORGOTTEN ROOM where she and Beatriz Williams and Karen White collaborated. LOVED the book. They all did a fantastic job. I want to read more by Lauren.

I really enjoyed The Other Daughter. Hope you do too! The Catherine Anderson book and the Karen Rose book both look really good and I have that Julia Quinn and just need to read it. Love her books! Happy reading!

Christmas!!! It's hard to believe how quickly the year is passing by, I'm not ready to start a new year just yet!! I like the idea of picking a book to kick off the year with, I'll have to put some thought into it!
